Quick Spinach Lasagna
- One 26-oz jar tomato sauce
- 1 pound no-boil lasagna sheets
- 16-oz bag frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- Salt and pepper
- 32 oz ricotta
- 2 cups pre-grated mozzarella
- About 2 Tbs olive oil
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cooking time: 50 minutes
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spread 1/4 cup of sauce on the bottom of a 9 x 13-inch pan. Put a layer of lasagna noodles on top, being careful not to overlap the pasta.
- In a bowl, mix the spinach, salt, pepper, and ricotta. Spread half the spinach-and-ricotta mixture on top of the noodles and cover with a layer of pasta (again, don't overlap the layers). Spread the remaining spinach-and-ricotta mixture on pasta; pour half the sauce over. Sprinkle on 1 cup of the grated mozzarella. Add another layer of noodles. Top with remaining sauce, grated mozzarella, salt, and pepper. Drizzle olive oil on top.
- Bake on middle rack for 40 to 50 minutes, or until pasta is tender and cheese is golden brown. Let cool a few minutes. Cut into wedges.
- How kids can help: Measure ingredients; place noodles in pan; mix spinach and ricotta; sprinkle on grated mozzarella.
